Peter Marklund's Home

"That a big contradiction in Denmark: it was early in adopting real
women's lib and having adult members of both sexes in the workplace,
but retains by law the shop schedule that only works when each
household has a homemaker. The only things you can reliably buy
outside of the window of M-F 10-5, Sat 11-2 are snack foods,
restaurant meals, and alcohol."

I was actually annoyed by the opening hours tyranny myself recently since I know I will have a big car with storage space available to go to Ikea next sunday, only of course, Ikea being open on a sunday is unthinkable in Denmark.
